Finite-time consensus of heterogeneous multi-agent systems

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/3/038901

Abstract We investigate the finite-time consensus problem for the heterogeneous multi-agent systems composed of first-order and second-order agents. A novel continuous nonlinear distributed consensus protocol is constructed, and finite-time consensus criteria are obtained for the heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Compared with the existing results, the stationary and the kinetic consensuses of the heterogeneous multi-agent systems can be achieved in a finite time respectively. Moreover, the leader can be a first-order or a second-order integrator agent. Finally, some simulation examples are employed to verify the efficiency of the theoretical results.

Keywords: heterogeneous multi-agent system finite-time consensus nonlinear consensus protocol
